A Total Treat

Some of the 'most stylish' Financial Times collaborators select their favourite books/playlists/podcasts:

I didn’t even know Anne Brontë’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall existed until a friend recommended it, knowing that Jane Eyre is my favourite novel. It was a total treat to go back into that gothic world that the sisters created.

Burnley Express recommends a staycation in Burnley:

Hurstwood Hall Guest House is another Burnley gem, located in the stunning hamlet of Hurstwood.
The guest house dates back to 1579 and is Grade II-listed, making it an impressive place to stay. As a side, it’s also featured on Four in a Bed and the BBC production of Anna Bronte’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. (Rachel Bayley)

CumbriaCrack also recommends The Ambleside Literary Walking Tour:

The Ambleside Literary Walking Tour details the town’s long history of literary associations through a half-day walk, accompanied by words from the many celebrated poets and novelists who visited or lived in the town, including the Wordsworths, John Keats, Charlotte Brontë and Charles Dickens

Vogue (Australia) on books to read before you turn 30. No Brontës per se, but some indirect mentions:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
“Devouring a few of the classics (Austen, Brontë, Fitzgerald) is practically a prerequisite before you turn 30. (Jessica Montague) (...)
A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf (...) “Her thesis? That all women need is an income, and a room to themselves. Give them independence, give them power, and they can enjoy the greatest privilege of all, from which they were barred for centuries—to create. Throughout, Woolf pays homage to her predecessors (Austen, the Brontës), and ultimately, will inspire you to pick up your own pen, and assert authority over your narrative.

The Young Folks and soft boys in literature:

For literally centuries, we have worshipped the tall, dark, brooding men as our romantic heroes. Look at Mr. Darcy or Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights as examples. They spend most of the book moping around, staring dramatically into the distance and waiting for the heroine to love them. (Abby Petree)

L'Espresso (Italy) and how literature has to deal with horror:

A sostenere la tesi, pure un filosofo suo connazionale come Georges Bataille che ne ha ricavato un saggio, “La letteratura e il male”, in cui analizza le opere di Emily Brontë, Charles Baudelaire, Jules Michelet, William Blake, Sade, Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka, Jean Genet per considerare che la scrittura è legata in modo inseparabile al male e al senso di colpa. Ovvio: «Gli essere umani non sono angeli». (Gigi Riva) (Translation)

MangiaLibri (Italy) reviews Girl with Dove by Sally Bayley:

Sally sovrappone con naturalezza il corso delle sue vicende con quelle di Mrs. Marple, David Copperfield e Jane Eyre, scopre la fragilità della sua visione delle cose, cerca di fuggire dal dolore estraniandosi, ma alla fine scopre anche che questa passione per le storie libresche sconfina nella patologia e anziché avvicinarla al mondo in carne ed ossa, fatto di forti emozioni che sanno anche essere terribili, l’allontana. (Massimiliano De Conca) (Translation)
